Bouvet Ladubay 'Excellence' Crémant de Loire NV
Bouvet Ladubay is one of the most historic and largest sparkling wine houses in the Loire Valley, tracing its roots back to 1851. Their Excellence Crémant de Loire is their signature bottling, delivering world-class quality and finesse that rivals many Champagnes, but at a fraction of the cost. It is a fantastic example of the quality achievable in the heart of Saumur. This wine is made using the exact same time-consuming process as Champagne whereby the second fermentation takes place inside the bottle to create the fine, natural bubbles. The blend is based on the region's noble white grapes: Chenin Blanc (for freshness, structure, and minerality) and Chardonnay (for finesse and elegance). Pale gold in colour with a delicate, persistent stream of fine bubbles. The nose is bright and inviting with aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, acacia flower, and a hint of fresh baked bread. Clean and refreshing, with vibrant acidity and soft, creamy bubbles, the palate offers pure orchard fruit notes and a dry, persistent finish.
